Turkeys stay at Washington, DC hotel ahead of Presidential pardon

It's the 70th year that the trade group has presented the USA president with a turkey to mark the Thanksgiving holiday.

"As many of you know, I have been very active in overturning a number of executive actions by my predecessor", Trump said. "So Tater and Tot, you can rest easy", Trump joked.

President Trump will pardon two turkeys in a Rose Garden ceremony tomorrow in a Thanksgiving White House tradition.

Trump was headed to his Florida estate later Tuesday for Thanksgiving.

After Trump officially pardoned "Drumstick" at the White House, a reporter yelled the question out as onlookers applauded and drowned him out.

"Names for each were suggested by people from around the world and this morning, we are introducing you, for the first time, to Wishbone and Drumstick", Wittenburg said as the crowd clapped and the turkeys loudly gobbled.
